Maybe a better way to frame the comparison for folks.

No, 1M is a lot closer to an actual M-car. It got actual M3 equipment...subframes, all suspension components(dampers, control arms, bushings, sway bars, etc.), LSD, steering rack, brakes, wheels, tire sizes. Also a full wide body to accommodate those upgrades. I'd say AT/MT Z4 it is more akin to 335i vs 335is, "is" got the DCT, sport tuned software, different exhaust, unique wheels, trim details.
